Create an arrayed array

[phub11]

Hi all,

I have two pre-defined arrays;

array1 = car, 1, tony;
array2 = bus, 3, mike;

I would like to make these into an arrayed array such that arrayFinal[0][2]=tony.

I've looked at array_merge and array_combine, but they don't appear to do what I want. All the examples I can only find multidimensiona l array examples that use scripted input rather than using pre-existing arrays. Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance!

Not too sure what your question is, can you clarify a little more?

$array1 = array(1, 2, 3);
$array2 = array(4, 5, 6);
$array_final = array($array1, $array2);
print_r($array_final);

Thanks for the reply!

To clarify - I have a loop, and for each loop a new array get appended to the arrayed array; much like array_push, but instead of appending a new element to an array, appending a new array to the multidimensiona l array.

while ( $selCounter < $nSelections )
{
$arrayedArr = ?SOMETHING? ${'finalArr' . ($selCounter)}
$selCounter = $selCounter + 1;
}

Thanks!

A two-dimensional array is actually an array of arrays in php.
Works slightly different in other languages such as C.
You will found that the array functions are virtualy useless with 2d arrays.

You have to write your own procedures using loops.

Now to your problem.
My understanding is you want to collect arrays into an array.
That is an array of arrays (see line one above).

So you have

$array1 = array('car', 1, 'tony');
$array2 = array('bus', 3, 'mike');

To collect these into a 2d.

$arrayofarrays = array(); #Good practice to define arrays
//Load arrays into 2d
$arrayofarrays[] = $array1 ;
$arrayofarrays[] = $array2 ;

So 2d array will have format

arrayofarrays(0=>array(0=>'car',1=>1...),1=>array(0=>'bus', 1=>3,2=> 'mike'))

Thanks!

Works now; I knew it was something simple.
